New Delhi:
Two new cases of COVID-19 Omicron variant have been reported in Delhi, increasing the case tally rises to 24, the Delhi Health Department informed today.
“Out of these 24 patients, 12 have been discharged and 12 are under treatment,” the Health Department added.
As Delhi yesterday recorded 107 fresh COVID-19 cases, the highest in six months, a health expert said the spike could be due to the Omicron variant.
The Delhi government on Saturday converted four private hospitals into dedicated centers for the treatment of the new COVID-19 variant Omicron.
These four hospitals are Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Max Hospital in Saket, Fortis Hospital in Vasant Kunj, and Batra Hospital in the Tughlakabad area of the national capital.
Earlier, only government-run Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) hospital was designated for the Omicron treatment.
